The first track to be lifted from their upcoming album 'Climb Up' is certainly a change from their early material which was about nine years in the making and revolved around dark instrumental sections.
This time round there is a new line up and a new sound, after Michael Gundlach and founding member Bobby isolating themselves down in Cape Cod, finding some new members along the way, multi-instrumentalist Jed Armour, drummer Brandon Collins, bass player John Mordecai who had been involved with Apse before.
After the completion of their new lineup they set to work on further developing a sound that was often described as 'Post, Post Rock.' From the sound of 3-1 and it's B side 'The Whip' this time around Apse have gone for certainly a more upbeat, Lo Fi approach, with dirty basslines and distorted vocals running through both tracks, there is something that really caught me. With the whole album recorded in the band members houses, the Lo fi approach really adds to their sound too.
I can't wait for the album, released early October.
